→ Main Components
01 -
3-4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
02 -
1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
03 -
Salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste
04 -
1 to 1½ pounds ribeye steak, sliced paper-thin against the grain
05 -
1 tablespoon steak seasoning blend
06 -
1 large yellow onion, chopped

2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
08 -
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
09 -
1 cup low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded

Cheese Whiz, warmed for drizzling
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Peel and wash potatoes, then cut into uniform 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, toss potato cubes thoroughly with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
02 -
Arrange seasoned potato cubes in air fryer basket in single layer. Set temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 25 minutes, shaking basket every 8-10 minutes to ensure even browning and prevent sticking.
03 -
While potatoes cook, slice ribeye steak into very thin strips against the grain. For easier slicing, place steak in freezer for 30 minutes to firm slightly before cutting.
04 -
When potatoes have 12 minutes remaining, heat large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak and season with steak seasoning. Cook 2-3 minutes until browned to desired doneness, then remove and set aside.
05 -
In same skillet, add chopped onion and bell peppers. Cook 5 minutes until onions become translucent and peppers are tender. Add minced garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
06 -
Return cooked steak to skillet with sautéed vegetables. Stir gently to combine and coat everything with pan juices and seasonings.
07 -
When potatoes are golden and crispy, add them to skillet with steak and vegetables. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over top. Cover skillet or place in 400°F oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts completely.
08 -
Remove from heat and drizzle warm Cheese Whiz generously over the entire skillet. Serve immediately while cheese is still gooey and potatoes remain crispy.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness
02 -
Allow onions and peppers to cook slowly for natural sweetness that balances the rich cheese
03 -
Freezing steak briefly before slicing makes it much easier to achieve paper-thin cuts
04 -
Reheat leftovers in skillet or air fryer to maintain potato crispness rather than microwaving
